Building my own intake, putting together a DIY.
I was thinking about making my own intake, instead of going the K&N route. I dont really care about engine bay looks, so I was going to go with PVC or something along those lines. A 3 inch would probably be best. I will still use a K&N filter... a 6 inch universal cone. it has a 3 inch outlet. I was thinking about maybe coating it with the spray engine enamil.
what do you guys think? Should I make a DIY for this, or is this a topic that has been covered already?

You can search for things like this because it has been covered many times before. You have the right idea. Simply block off the filter from the engine heat with a heat shield, and make sure that the inside of the tubing is smooth, without any obstructions.

honestly, lol this might sound silly to some people but i need "official" stuff. I need brand name K&N plastic intake that looks like it could of came with the truck. I couldnt have a custom made intake kit unless I wanted to feel like Ronald McDonald. Did you see some pics of the plastic series K&N kit installed? This looks high quality, because it really is. Thats what I'd want to deal with under MY hood. IMO. I mean if we are talking about a 91 accord with rust holes in it you could make and intake out of a paper towel core for all i care, but a new truck?

quick question that I cant find an answer to... what coupler are people using to connect to the T.B. and isn't there a sensor that I should be thinking about?

If a company spends all that money in making a product for our truck and no one buys it......that means there is no market for parts for our truck and no one is going to bother making stuff for it. Just something else to think about.....
You gotta pay to play

Thank you!!!
luvmydak has the right point there
Save the Home Depot intake idea, and just save up the money for the K&N intake...I think it's like $220 SHIPPED on ebay, which might be a lot of money to some people I know. But just do it right one time instead of going thru the work/trouble of making one to realize it looks hideous and you wasted your time/money.
